The 6th issue of Awanachi magazine is here and it is themed #womenintechnology. It’s good to see more visibility of women in tech, even as we continue shaping the future of women and girls in tech, while breaking the stereotype and redefining the narrative around gender in ICT.

Thinking of quitting your job to do your own thing?

I always tell people to weigh this equation:

Financial security + status OR Freedom (which isn’t free)

I was inspired to start a weekly column on LinkedIn about the realities of being your own boss:

I built https://t.co/sz5nD3hr1i for myself last weekend. I got so many transactions sms notifications and receipts and always wonder how much I spent on certain stuff like dinners . So I thought, how about I use this as the data to match against my sent budgets.

@Grok, what do you think of the caricature trend instagram?

We are officially heading to NIGERIA! 🌟

But why Nigeria?
Our 2026 General Chairs described Nigeria as a place representing "scale, imagination, and a fearless belief in what is possible."
For years, Nigerian builders and researchers have helped shape the Indaba from its earliest days. Now, we are bringing the energy home to channel a new focus: Sovereign Intelligence, the ability for Africa to build, steward, and understand its own systems.

As Wole Soyinka famously said, "A tiger does not proclaim its tigritude; it pounces."This year, we pounce. The journey to 2026 has begun!

Stay tuned for updates on dates, venue details, and application openings coming soon!

No is not a complete sentence in the workplace.
Context does matter while being mindful of not over explaining yourself.

I’m proud to share a project I’ve been working on for the new #Spectacles in collaboration with the Snap team called Code World. I believe in making education enjoyable and engaging. Augmented Reality offers an incredible platform for this. Pixel builder is available too!

To truly empathize with ‘internal customers’, you need to walk in their shoes by performing their tasks under their guidance—even for just a day—can reveal valuable insights. This hands-on experience allows you to better understand their challenges, workflows, and needs.

@Ntape_K_Siwale I tried this today, it’s a solution for now 😅

The internet speed is terrible, there’s no electricity! How can you honestly be productive like this?

[theOutlier🇿🇲 @Upendo_Manjele]

@mwanzabj Sorry about that experience. It’s a dire situation
